Even the lawyers are came into Hifi status compared to Big shots in India in future.In the current ceneraio the law is also an field of earning money.Compared to IT field hereafter the students choose Law as thier profession.

These facts are restricted to what these living legends earns in courts of law. Counsels like Mr. Ram Jethmalani and Mr. Singhvi give guest lectures in various law colleges and one cannot even guess the amount they charge for the same. They are the biggest names in the field of law and its tough to hold such an influential position, howsoever.

Oh come on…you cant be serious…this is really not what they charge. I have a friend who works with Harish and he charges somewhere between 7 to 8 for an appearance. And Singhvi charges roughly the same. In fact singhvi is known to not enter a court room before half his money has been paid.

Equity Partner in firms like AMCC, JSA, AZB (Major Firms in Delhi as well as in Mumbai) earns around 5-6 crore in a year. First year salaried partner earns 55-65 Lakh and 5% to 10% increment in subsequent yearsâ€¦

They missed out on Nariman & Son, regional lawyers who also make tons of money, and the senior senior advocates like KKV, PP Rao, Andhyarjuna etc..also they should have published how much they pay their juniors! 🙂

The article only highlights the income and life style of some of the leading counsels of the country particularly from Delhi and Mumbai, but, nothing is written about legal stalwarts from southren cities like Bangalore, Cochin, Chennai, and Hyderabad.

India Today should also mention the kickbacks these Seniors pay to their briefing counsels n how they hold on to the clerk fees and also the unnecessary conferences they have before every appearance for which they charge dearly. Not to mention the Senior Opinion fees they charge to the corporate clients. Some light should also be shed on the average salary they pay to their junior counsels n misery they show to refund the appearance charges paid in advance when they fail to appear in a matter.

Very conservative estimates. Estimates of the Supreme Court lawyers are at the lower end. Plus some more eminent lawyers have been missed out. Rohinton Nariman is one of the highest charging lawyers now alongwith legends like Shantibhushan and KK Venugopal.

Justice for all is a myth. Justice is only for those who can afford it, even in the lower Courts. Charging fees which only 0.1% of our population can afford goes beyond extortion; it is corruption with legal sanction.

I am a practicing lawyer in Patna. I don’t mind lawyers getting materialistic as they charge the fee from the Corporate clients. For those who do not want to spend the hefty fee of a lawyer they can use the professional service of other lawyers of the same court, as I am sure that even in Supreme Court there are lawyers who could come for their size of pocket. And in the last it is no where mentioned about 10% fee given to juniors.

Lawyers..by default we do become one when we do a law graduation. but the education we call law instills in us many skills required to become a leader, a go getter and winner in Life. We need not advertise about our work, the word of mouth is the best seen in practice in our field.. Salute to Salve Sir.

As a Lawyer i think i have a responsibility towards the society .I have been a junior to one of the big shot lawyer of India NO matter’s what he earn’s ! Matter’s what to me how much he pay to their juniors well Sr are very bad in paying . And yes what they do the same we can do better and that too in less amount its nothing special its just a face value which matter. have a good day guys..

Ohh Come on…hw could you forget someone like Dr Subramaniam Swamy!! these money barons are nothing infornt of him…Swamy alone many is fighting many high profile cases against dangerous ppl in India for the welfare of common man… than the one told here…..above all he doesn’t get millions of rupees but instead gets millions and millions of tweets for his victories!!!

The article ought to have focused on the plight of litigation lawyers in general , how much the senior lawyers pay the junior some ask them to work for free , others pay a pittance so it but natural law school graduates would be attracted to corporate sectors. Even litigation lawyers who are not attached to law firms after many years of practice can hardly make two ends meet. Honestly other profession are better .Even an air hostess or a call center employee is paid better than a junior lawyer

hello sir my self vikash kumar i have in problem releated towards my shop my father spent 32 years in that shop and there is no agreement at the time of giving shop but he giving the slip for last31 yr but last 1 year he is not giving the slip but i had paid money from september month i am not given the money so how much the case was strong in my favour

Taking huge fee is not unjust coz when u see that there are people who can afford it but what these stalwarts should keep in mind is to encourage the young lawyers as well…. All of them have juniors and m sure none of them pay even 30k or 40k to their juniors…. thogh m sure they must have faced the same troubles which the young lawyers today face but they should always keep in mind the cost of living in cities like Delhi and Mumbai and how their juniors afford to live in there…. And if these stalwarts are reading these comments they should seriously think of encouraging freshers by paying some of their money….
